The Subaru XV Crosstrek competes against a variety of small and carlike all-wheel drive vehicles.
Those range from the carlike MINI Cooper Countryman--which suffers from a harsh ride--to the aging but tough Jeep Compass, which has recently been upgraded to be more competitive.
The new Jeep Cherokee may also be a competitor, although it's likely to be pitched against larger crossovers, and Mitsubishi's smallest crossover, the Outlander Sport, could also be included.
Finally, Subaru buyers may actually cross-shop in the same showroom against the Subaru Forester, which is all-new for 2014 and targets the largest part of the small crossover market.
